Looking to add Screenlogic to my Pentair EZ Touch 4 Pool Controller. The kit is $600-$700 which we all know is crazy. Has anyone figured out a workaround to be able to use the Pentair app to control it? I actually have the protocol box but the antenna is missing.
 
What Allen posted is pretty close to what I have. Not as well done, but it works! I have a TPLink WiFi extender hanging out the bottom of the ET box. Powered from the convenience outlet. PA is in the ET box wired to the J20.
Works great.

That sounds like what I am thinking...

I'm assuming the TPLink is waterproof or your equipment is in a shed? Mine is outside so I'm not sure how long the extender would last.

Did the app have any trouble finding the screenlogic PA?

I live in the desert. I just have it hanging below the ET box. Rain is rare.

Mine hooked up easily.
